India's ace long jumper Anju Bobby George, who bagged her first Grand Prix gold medal in Doha last week, said she is yet to peak and still struggling to find her rhythm after a six-month training schedule.

"I found it a bit difficult to get the right rhythm because I took part in international competitions after six months of training here [in Bangalore] . I am yet to peak," Anju said in Bangalore on Tuesday.

After an unimpressive show in the Japanese city of Osaka, where she finished fourth with an effort of 6.46 metres, Anju raised her performance by several notches at Doha for a leap of 6.82 metres to bag the top prize.

That she needs to work more on her rhythm became evident as she fouled both her opening attempts in which, she said, she touched seven metres.

But Anju, the first Indian athlete to win a World Championship medal -- she won the bronze medal in Paris last year with a jump of 6.70 metres -- expressed confidence that she has it in her to go past the seven-metre mark.

The 6.82 metres effort at Doha has not gone into the record books as it was wind-assisted, but the national mark of 6.74 metres remains in Anju's name.

The ace jumper will now surely like to get into the next gear as she gets ready to take part in international meets in The Netherlands, United States, the Czech Republic and Britain as part of her Olympic preparations.

These four events are either Grand Prix or Super Grand Prix events, and her husband and coach Bobby George said the competition there would be much tougher as top stars -- those ranked above Anju in the world -- would be seen in action.

Anju, back in Bangalore on Sunday night, has already resumed her rigorous training at the Sports Authority of India campus. She leaves on May 27 for Hengelo in The Netherlands for her first stop after a ten-day preparation.

Bobby said Anju would undertake a final 25-day training at the Olympic Games village in Athens from August 1 in the run-up to the mega event.
